Description
Katsushige Anryu Blue 2 Tsuchime Nakiri 170mm Stainless Clad Ebony Handle, Japanese vegetable knife
This nakiri is a flat vegetable knife for clean, straight push cuts. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Katsushige Anryu with a tsuchime finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The forged carbon steel takes a keen edge and gains character with use.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for clean vegetable cuts. This is a carbon-steel blade, which takes an exceptionally keen edge but reacts with food and water. Hand wash and dry it immediately after use, wipe on a light coat of oil before storage, and expect a natural patina to form over time. Keep it off bone and frozen food, and sharpen on a whetstone to bring the edge back.

Solid buy. Sharp, light and nimble. Would happily buy from Knives and Stones again.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.

My new go-to nakiri. The balance is perfect and it holds an edge well.
